hello, I have a query for my knowledge. In my current scenario, we have 5 switches and I configured priority manually on all 5 switches. What if we have more than 10 numbers of switches in network.! ?.
We can set the priority in multiple of 4096 only so we have limited options. So what can we do in such a case.? Is that depends on switch network topology.?
With regards,
